I think his impression of the fandom is somewhat, well, polarised. :-) As for the story I can't actually say I'm very impressed with it on a literary basis.
It's just conjecture here, but I think the primary reason for it being published is it's 'shock' value, dealing with apparently exotic human behaviour and inviting the reader to be a justified voyeur. :-)
Not a problem in itself, but I feel the author could have done alot better.
